They are remarkable achievers, truly exemplary. They are not merely students who have done well, they are a symbol of hope for all students who want to succeed in life. These three girls and two boys, they have done their motherland proud as the future of this country.

Nothing impossible

“Finishing my practicals was a bit of a challenge for me. I worked very hard and believed in myself and got together with my friends and studied with them. My advice to others is that there is nothing that is impossible or unattainable, anyone can come up to my standard. You need to have confidence and self belief.

If complete the work given each day Advanced levels is not tough. Our school teachers were very good, they taught us to the best of their efforts and my family was there to support me,” said R S P Kasun Lakmal,19,Island’s First in Bio Science stream. “For three subjects you have to manage your time. That was a big challenge managing my time and balancing everything. I used to spend a lot of time on practicals, Especially in chemistry there was a lot to remember. More than the other subjects there was a lot to remember in chemistry.

Enjoying studies

However I did not treat the exams as a burden, I enjoyed doing my three subjects. As a result of this I became Island’s First. My advice to those sitting the exam is that the A/L are a very important part of your life and it will determine who you will be. During this time do not waste your time on unnecessary stuff, aim for your target and work hard,” said Rusiru Gambheeraarachchi, 19, Island’s First in Mathematics.

“For me time was a little problematic. I attended extra classes. I live close to school so in that sense so there was no travelling problem in terms of time. I did the best I could do. I listened very close to the teachers and asked questions and resolved them then and there. I completed the work I did in class each day.

My advice is do what you are good at. Do what you do, to the maximum of your efforts and do it happily. Do not do what others want you to do, identify what you are good at and apply yourself. Meeting the president was quite an experience I have no words to describe it. He gave us a lot of advise,” said Sheshani Gunathilake, 19, Island’s First in Commerce.

“Before the exam the time factor was a challenge for me. I come to school from Horana. I get into the bus at five in the morning and come home at four. So it was rather tiring. The reason I came Island first, was because I truly liked my stream and enjoyed it. Languages was my favourite choice.

When you choose a stream you like, studying is enjoyable. My advice to other students is do not succumb to external pressure. Choose a field you like and be happy in what you do. If you do not do something you like, you find it difficult to remember. Meeting the president is something that does not happen everyday. It was a great honour,” said Upeksha Sewwandi 19, Island’s First in Arts.

“I was the head prefect 2010/11 because of that I was sort of behind work. I was a bit afraid that I was not ready. I was able to successfully face the challenge because of the support of my teachers, principal and parents. I came to school everyday. I sat for the last term exam, I also took part in the revision classes.

I also did past papers. My advice is do the stream you enjoy. Do not be diverted by external pressure and do something you like. You can go for extra classes but your chief source of knowledge should come from the school. Meeting the president was an unforgettable experience. It was an honour to meet such a great leader,” said Samali Liyanage, Island’s First in IT Stream.
